Fishing
Report: In its earlier days, fishing at Hyas was superb.
Large Rainbows up to 16 lbs. were caught. Today, these huge fish
are gone, however Hyas still supports a good Rainbow fishery with
trout going up to 3-1/2 lbs and the occassional one up to 5 lbs.
Hyas is considered a good lake for fly fishing with good populations
of aquatic insects. Be sure to visit Fishbc.com
for angling information!

it supports a good Rainbow fishery with trout reaching into

used and can be very exciting during spring and fall months.
